Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:104

ἀναλάβωμεν παιδείαν, ἐφʼ ᾗ οὐδεὶς ὀφείλει ἀγανακτεῖν, ἀγαπητοί. ἡ νουθέτησις, ἣν ποιούμεθα εἰς ἀλλήλους, καλή ἐστιν καὶ ὑπεράγαν ὠφέλιμος· κολλᾷ γὰρ ἡμᾶς τῷ θελήματι τοῦ θεοῦ.

English · Claude translation

Let us accept correction, beloved, at which no one ought to be angry. The admonition that we give one another is good and exceedingly useful, for it unites us to the will of God.
